(2023·潍坊高一期中)I met a beautiful soul yesterday.I went to work with my computer to a local café so that I could have dinner there.It was raining a bit this time and also I was among people.Sometimes when you work from home all day this is in itself a treat.And the magic of connection sometimes happens—a smile,someone offering you the newspaper,a short conversation with the staff,a peace dove flying past and lots of possibilities for love and kindness.
Well,magic did happen.I heard a man who was speaking with difficulty and very loud.I noticed he could not speak so clearly and he had some kind of impairment(损伤).As often happened,people looked at him—or avoided doing so,and then—as if embarrassed or afraid—looked down.In these cases I try to do the opposite.I imagined a person in these circumstances would want to feel included.
So I decided to deliberately look at him and smile.It was an instant!He looked at me,smiled and immediately said hello.With a combination of spoken and body language he asked if he could approach me.I agreed.He introduced me to his friend who taught sign language online and explained that they were both deaf,after which he even told me about his wife and how he loved teaching.I apologized for not knowing sign language and hoped I'd learnt.We still managed to have a beautiful conversation which made us all very happy.I'm sure we'll meet again to experience the magic of being and being with others.
